Cancer Woman

Cancer is symbolized by the crab and is the 4th sign of the zodiac and is ruled by the moon, making this woman an instinctive and emotional person by nature. She will also display the elements of the crab in that she is soft on the inside even though she shows a rugged, tough exterior. She will also be like the moon, going through phases where she displays different moods each day. She is a perceptive woman who is both loving and friendly and will show great care and love for those that she holds in her heart, with home being her favorite place to be.

Her caring, helpful nature makes her a very good friend. She is always willing to lend support and offer help when friends are in need. They all know that she can be relied upon whenever they need her whether it is today or tomorrow. She is able to carry her affectionate nature over to her romantic relationships, displaying great love and care for her partner. She doesn’t ask for much, but will never forgive anyone that hurts her. The Cancer woman tends to be energetic at work and has no problem completing today’s tasks on time. She is a great team player, using her intuitive mind to reach her goals.

She has a tendency to be needy and requires regular loving support and can become a little self-absorbed, but won’t tell anyone about her problems. This can tend to lead to mood swings that her friends will need to watch out for and being a good listener she will make her friends feel good whenever possible. That said those same friends might view her as guarded, given that she won’t share her own feelings and fears.

She holds onto things that happen in her partnership, making it difficult for her to forget bad things that happened today or long ago. She can be needy in a love bond, which often makes her other half feel smothered and in need of space. Her mood swings can have a negative effect in the workplace. She may also be shy in the beginning, making it hard for her to advance in her career. Simply put, the woman living under the cancer sign is friendly and homely, but also moody and clingy.

She may appear like the photograph of that dream girl most men carry around in a hidden locket of their minds. But lurking just below the surface of that shy, sweet image is a superbly sensual woman. There are secret emotional depths to her, and like the story of Sleeping Beauty and her Prince, it takes love to awaken her eroticism. She is a highly sensual woman, and love unlocks the smoldering fire hidden by her diffident manner.

Don’t expect her to be forward, however, because she doesn’t know how to be. You must pick up the subtle clue, the unspoken invitation. She may be trying to get in touch with you while your emotional phone is off the hook. If you miss that first chance, you’re probably out of luck. Her feelings are too vulnerable for her to risk another overture.

As with all the water signs (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces), the quality of trust is very important to her in a relationship. The Cancer woman is very cautious about giving her heart away. The two things she needs more than anything else are love and security, and she offers undying loyalty to a man who makes her feel secure. She has eyes only for him, and she’ll cling as tenaciously as if she had pincers instead of arms. A betrayal in love is devastating, and takes a long, long time for her to forgive. In truth, she never forgives, rationally, yes, perhaps, but emotionally, never.

On first meeting Cancer woman you will find that she can be flirtatious, although in true subtle Cancerian fashion her flirting is done in a quiet way. Hers is not a flamboyant personality, but rather one of gentleness, depth, and richness. She is not only romantic, she’s convinced that love, love and love is the secret of life. She wants to discover the secret with the man of her dreams. This sounds old-fashioned, but that’s part of her charm: she is old-fashioned. It’s a special quality that makes men feel protective toward her.

A confirmed sentimentalist, she loves to collect mementos from the past and pore over them. She frames old photographs, keeps old letters and stays in touch with old friends. She is devoted to her mate and to her family. Affectionate, romantic, feminine, sympathetic, imaginative, and sweetly seductive, this quintessential woman can make home a place that a man never wants to leave.
